Outstanding cocktail, Mami J. It has such a wonderful flavor that I really don't even know how to describe. It's quite delicious and isn't too sweet nor too tart nor too fruity. It has a well balanced flavor base, but the Creme de Cassis really adds a lovely touch to the drink. Made for Culinary Quest 2016 (the Azores Islands). I'm so glad I tried this cocktail !!

Yummy! I like the pineapple juice with the creme de cassis... Also liked it with vodka! Made for ZWT #6!

I needed something refreshing and this seemed like it would fit the bill...and it did! Did make some subs, though. Had loads of lemons I picked up at the Market today and I'd made fresh lemonade, so I used that instead of the pineapple juice. Loved the tart/sweet thing happening with the gin (love gin!) and the smoothness of the creme de cassis. Loads of ice. Yummy.

This is a great drink. It is very pretty and very tasty. The combination of lemon and pineapple flavor is outstanding. My husband enjoyed it as well and he isn't big on pinapple juice. The creme make a very pretty finish. Thanks I will make this again.
